Abstract
Phosphorus removal from wastewater is a critical environmental concern due to its role in eutrophication. Electrocoagulation, an electrochemical water treatment method, has gained attention for its efficiency in removing phosphorus contaminants. This abstract presents an overview of the electrocoagulation process and its effectiveness in phosphorus removal. The electrocoagulation process involves the use of sacrificial electrodes to generate coagulating agents, primarily metal hydroxides, that aid in the precipitation and subsequent removal of phosphorus species. The mechanism involves destabilization of phosphorus particles through electrochemical reactions, forming flocs that are easily separated from the water. Various parameters influencing electrocoagulation's efficiency, such as pH, current density, electrode material, and electrolyte concentration, are discussed in this abstract. Optimization of these parameters is crucial for enhancing phosphorus removal efficiency while minimizing energy consumption and operational costs .Furthermore, the abstract highlights the advantages of electrocoagulation, such as its adaptability to different water qualities, relatively low sludge production, and potential for automation and integration into existing treatment processes. In conclusion, electrocoagulation exhibits significant promise as a sustainable and cost-effective method for phosphorus removal from wastewater. Continued research and technological advancements in this field hold the potential to address environmental concerns associated with phosphorus pollution effectively.
